I went to the store
for apples and bread
got root beer and chips
cookies and ice cream
I went to the store
for draino & chicken
got pork chops & pie
potatoes & popcorn
Got pickles and wine
Some muffins and milk
A book about astrology
candy and a spatula.
I went to my school
for reason and purpose
Got a poetry award
and a list of trade schools
I got me a job
for cash and insurance
Got an apartment, a cat,
laundry and bills
Got tables and chairs,
stereos and CDs
TV and linen
Apples and bread
I went to the store
I went to the store
I went
to
the
store.
I used to fancy myself a poet, but now I thinks me a songwriter.
This one is a jazzy bit.
I have some calypsos too.
Share some of yours and some of your favorites.
Poetry, YES!
